The good news is Mizzou basketball is right around the corner. Hermit and Co. ready prove all the haters wrong...

Oh and yeah that. They got a shittier coach to buyout first.

One at a time.

Sorry for going off topic, how many wins do you (or anyone) think he needs to get to save his job?

9

Wait, seriously? No way he keeps his job with that few, or am I naive? Talking about Anderson.

That's a good question. If he has another loss like UMKC again, his ass is as good as gone.

I think he needs to at least get a signature SEC win to save his job. Mike Alden isn't here to save his ass anymore.

I know. I just don't think he gets canned this year.

Read: I have no faith in Missouri to ever make the right decision regarding any basketball coach.

Recent history says you are correct. Last four have been garbage with an " * " for Haith's first year with Suitcase Mike's recruits. Maybe new AD can make a good hire???

Maty Mauk has been reinstated. How does this affect the team?

They still hate you as much as we do.

Hookers and blow for all!

If that's good news, then I would hate to see your idea of bad news.

Desperation, imo, re-instating Mauk.

Nope, they can't "fix" the offense's production until the O-line gets better, and they have a threat in the backfield again. Maybe next year.

It's bullshit reinstating him. What positives could he possibly bring to the team at this point? The book is out on the guy, both on the field and off of it. This season is toast, let Lock stay in there and gain valuable experience for next season.

The offense as a whole is a cluster****. They need to change the scheme to better fit the players they have, rather than forcing them into a system they don't excel with.

The future of Mizzou football and basketball is looking very dark.

All Lock is getting right now is his ass kicked.

If you throw me out there at QB, I'd get about as much valuable experience as Lock is getting out of this. He has nothing working for him, he's not progressing and the only thing he's learning right now is bad habits.

You're absolutely right - the season it toast. So send Mauk back out there to take the rest of these bullets. We'll end up with Lock staring at pass rushers just like Gabbert did if we keep sending him out there to die.

This idea that simply taking snaps is going to benefit Lock in a season where absolutely nothing is working offensively is folly. He can't learn anything from this. The offense can't get in any kind of rhythm so how exactly is he learning to operate it?

He never should've been in there to begin with. Mizzou fans are always looking at the next guy and they're invariably disappointed. Lock will be no further ahead next season than he would've been with Prinz taking the snaps this year and he'd have an extra year of eligibility for his troubles. People were way too high on Lock. He's a nice QB but he's not Josh Rosen - he's not even Blaine Gabbert. He's roughly the same caliber prospect that Mauk was and it was foolish for the staff to dump this shitstain of a season in his lap.

The future of Mizzou football looks great. This is just a down year.

Yeah, good points. But I just really rather would have seen them shoot Mauk out of a cannon away from Columbia. Internally, I guess it is common sense to save Lock from this disaster of a year, but Mizzou is going to get flamed for bringing Mauk back from those outside the program, and maybe rightfully so.

We'll see how it all plays out I suppose, currently and down the road.

I really hope you're right. I think we have some great young talent, what worries me is not having any WR's or O-lineman, that was the key to our success. The RB position will eventually be fixed but I'm worried that Lock won't have many targets to throw to in his time here. Brown shows potential but he has way too many drops. Who is going to step up?

Salvage a bowl game lol

Making a bowl game and getting six weeks of extra practice and development would be big for a team this young.

So yeah, making a bullshit bowl game is actually pretty valuable this year.

If they manage to win 6 games and get invited to some mid December bowl, I will consider this season a flying success.

I just saw a thread on the SEC rant Mizzou board, there is a rumor going on that Justin Smith has quit his assistant volunteer position in the weight room. A family friend that works for Justin, said Smith was criticizing Ricker on how poor the offensive line has performed.

Ricker definitely needs to go right the **** now. Good on Justin for calling a spade a spade.

There was a similar rumor on PowerMizzou that was shot down pretty quickly. Smith actually hasn't been working with the team for awhile; since prior to the first game I think.

Thanks for clarifying, I was hoping its true so Ricker gets shit canned quicker.

College Gameday is at the Liberty Bell in Philly, which is a 15 minute walk from my apartment. Should I bring a "Fire AJ Ricker" sign tomorrow?

Yes. With "free hootie" on the back.

Sure. Doesn't mean that Smith didn't criticize Ricker (pretty funny if so), just that if he did, it was a while ago.

Not sure if there is any interest or anyone in Columbia on this thread, but I have 6 tickets to the game this Thursday that I won't be able to use. Bought them at a silent raffle after drinking all day and didn't realize it was a Thursday night game at the time. Anyhow...seats are in section 313 row 2. All side by side.

Not expecting to get my $$ back...just trying to cover a little of the loss. Let me know if anyone is interested!

I just heard Matty has been suspended for the rest of the year. No link yet, just word of mouth from someone in the athletic dept.

Confirmed.

http://www.kansascity.com/sports/col...e42142113.html

He has.

COLUMBIA, Mo. – University of Missouri junior quarterback Maty Mauk has been suspended from the team for disciplinary reasons, as announced today by Head Football Coach Gary Pinkel. The suspension is in place for the remainder of the 2015 season. Mauk had been reinstated to the team on October 25th after missing the previous four games for a violation of program policies.

Per department protocol, further details of the disciplinary action will not be discussed.

Hypothetically speaking, it would probably be a bad idea to get so hammered you get refused service and get in a fight at a prominent local bar, just three days after being reinstated to the team...

So the Fieldhouse rumor is true?

This after what got him suspended in the first place. What a disaster that kid is.

That's what I am hearing too.

Hypothetically, of course

Just got caught up on things LMAO

I thought 2012 was a disaster. Yikes.

I expect this team to fold it up like a deck of cards and not be eligible for a bowl.

FTFY

Hypothetically, the poetic icing on the cake might be having the people at said bar start chanting your replacement's name as you're escorted out of there.

Ho-ly shit.

What do you want for them..I have nothing better to do than watch the offense get their dick kicked in

Ahahaha

That's awesome.

I don't know...$20 each? If that doesn't sound fair tell me what does.

Not really. Kid's going through a lot of shit in his life.

Dude obviously has problems with the bottle. Hopefully a wake up call like this will help him put football aside and get his life in order.

I understand why, but I think you misread me. It's not awesome that he's doing this. But the chant? That's pretty funny.

Is Mauk the most hated MU athlete since Ricky Clemons?

Are we counting Kermit as a MU athlete?

One has to wonder if we'll score again this year! Ugh...

Richter needs to be canned. The O-Line is putrid.

I hope this OL doesnt break Drew mentally before he ever has a chance for success
Posted via Mobile Device

It's hard to understand how the OL can be getting worse instead of better, but they are getting worse.

It's just sad, with an average Offense we'd be serious SEC contenders this year. Not sure about the bigger picture but we'd be heavy in the running in the SEC. ****, just give me the 2013 offense with HJ and QBs just throwing it up to DGB, LDW, and Lucas and we'd be so fun to watch.

But Ben Heeney was just an asshole right?

At least be consistent in your shit talking.

Shit though, this game is almost worth watching for the sideline girl...damn

I wish the O-line could play as inspired as the rest of the team.

Seems dumb to do this!

Edit: Brilliant decision!

LOL! Brothers with the blocked punt followed by a quick 3 and out and a FG!

At least we are watching KB destroy souls out there all season long, and the DL is beasting as usual

Yeah, no push-off there huh? LOL, football officials are pretty funny.

Who really cares at this point. I hope we lose out. Changes need to happen.

He's great. What's his position in the pros though? He seems small for an NFL linebacker.

Meh, it was a good play on a very sloppy field. We might even get lucky tonight and get a td if a MSU defender slips or something.

Hell yeah, better draft pick! Wait..........

I know, I know, but that happened right in front of the man so missing it reflects poorly on the official.

Lock might have to do that a lot for the rest of the year.

P00p!

Nice...

a ****ing TD!! Finally!!

It means I am tired of this nepotism bullshit. Bringing in some fresh blood is never a bad thing.

Welp, there's that too I guess.

Touchdown given up, fumbled kickoff, awful pick.

Wow.

The clapping to snap the ball is BS too. I don't think that helps the linemen out any.

Wow, that's pretty funny right there!

For as good as the defense is, it is not good on third down. Not good at all.

If they'd use it to draw them off-sides every once in a while, well that'd be nice.

Wow.. D is awesome. Too bad GP can't fix the O.

Jesus Christ, guys. Tackle. That would have knocked them out of FG position.
